You seem to equate "least characteristic" with "least good".

Although the Oils are characteristically good, I think that some of their
least characteristic songs are some of their best.  When people are their
most creative, they are more likely to do something that is unique to
itself, and that can only make it more precious.

Some of their least characteristic tracks:
  - Nothing Lost, Nothing Gained
  - Scream in Blue
  - A Crocodile Cries

I guess instrumentals are generally uncharacteristic of the Oils, because
they have had so few as a proportion of their overall output, though they
have had a few.

Cheers,

Chris
